Energy and Temperature changes

Cards (6)

  • Energy transfers
    The movement of energy from one place to another
  • Energy and temperature
    Temperature is a measure of how hot something is, not how much internal (thermal) energy it has
  • Temperature
    Measured in degrees Celsius (°C)
  • Internal (thermal) energy
    Measured in joules (J)
  • Factors affecting amount of thermal energy stored
    • Temperature
    • Material it is made from
    • Mass
  • Energy transfer between objects at different temperatures
    1. Energy transfers from hotter object to cooler object
    2. Until they are at the same temperature
